Any1 who likes to watch online streaming should get one of these. I watch all football that is not on Sky or Bt through this. You can also watch brand new film releases on this android box. The film quality ifs really good but the footbal is ask you'd watch it on the laptop. For 80 sheets its worth it just for the constant flow of new films

Wouldn't be worth it for me as all the football I need to watch is via streams and use my HDMI cable from my Laptop to the TV which is a great picture.

Like I said its better for constant new movies but you can watch football as well, saves all the hassle of connecting the laptop to the TV all the time to. It also has 3 USB slots and you can download your own add on's to it. Pretty good bit of kit for 80 sheets, will never have to pay for or waste my time downloading a movie again :ayatollah:

I just download the torrents from Torlock using utorrent, then put them on USB when I do download a movie. The movie database on this android box tho is pretty huge, movies are added everyday. You can also watch free PPV events on there, all the UFC events, froch/groves for instance is on there, not that I watch it but survivor series wrestling on ther which was last week. All these events cost 15 pound a pop

So the sports - are these streams from places like <weird p2p streaming site> or are they from official sources? Is the quality tidy enough and do you see adverts popping up (like when naughty people go to those weird streaming sites?

And the movies - do they stream live or have to be downloaded? Quality? Any HD?

This is the one I got. Quality for movies and football, if your streaming the football the picture isn't the best but watchable. If football is on al jazzera, bt sports, espn, setanta it's quality picture. As the above poster says movies etc hd picture thousands and thousands of movies. From 30 years old to ones in the cinema now. Also on this one I have, I'm not sure if its the same on all of them, if any of the streams are down or broken. They are automatically repaired through the app that the seller has added to the box. Well worth the money!
I've already made my money back in 2 weeks. I watched the boxing, on box office. Boxing on box nation. I've watched bt sports. Espn, a few movies that are in the cinema. Green street 3 which I was going to buy from asda before I bought this box. And all that's without the football I've watched on it that I normally couldn't watch, ie. Dortmund v Munich, Lille v marseille, arsenal 3pm kick off 2 weeks ago.and Cardiff tonight. Plus plenty I've forgotten. There's also kids channels, catch up tv. Sky sports, NBC sports. Loads of mma. Too much to list really. It takes a little getting used to but a quality purchase. :ayatollah:

Is it just plug and go or have you got to look for these streaming sites like for footy which isn't being shown on sky etc?

Just connect to tv with hdmi cable that comes with it and then connect to your wifi. Type in stream box in YouTube and watch the videos easy to use. And stream box is the company I bought mine from

Looks good.

Can someone just confirm if adverts still pop up when streaming that is really annoying and would be well worth the money if there are no pop ups!

Cheers guys

No no adverts nothing like that. Movies just like watching a DVD in hd, football no adverts popping up either :ayatollah:
